Transfer Case / Transmission Fluid Level Issue

[ODdave]

what wrench did you use to get the plugs out?

205= tag on the front, blue ink

208= tag on rear, red ink

you can also tell what it is by the shifter. if there is a square plastic bezel and no writing on the nob its a 208
Just a rubber boot and shift pattern on the nob, its a 205

Here are the pics. I marked up one of them. It does look like cast iron (there's rust, anyway) and there is some ID info on a big round plate that may be aluminum.

I also attached a pic of the drivers side of the T-case.

Rain down your wisdom! Thanks!

205, you are correct on you drain and fill. correct fluid..... not so much
You say this is in a 1009 (blazer) ?

The tag i am refering to is a round one with a single screw in the middle. tells the model & ratio. That silver tag is meaningless to you for basic identification

Wow, 205! There's your problem, you have the wrong T case!

I used an adjustable wrench. I did not have a crescent in the correct size for those square bolts. from what I recall it was approximately 13-14mm

Ha, yea better see if somone would help you locate the right one. Mabye you could find some sucker to trade straight up.

the 205 doesn't take Dexron? or is this the one you have to put additive in? (as you reply, I am re-reading the TM)

From what I hear, the 205 is the better one... but keep trying! maybe somebody will fall for that!

lol, i have a deuce bed full of them. Just had to give you some shi*. In the civi world the 205 takes 80-90 gear lube. I have seen mill ones with atf. the gear lube climbs the gears better as the 205 dose not have a pump in it.

PS, it is better. Keep it !

OK, I'll have a look on the other sides for the helpful ID tag tomorrow

Hmm.. maybe I'll put some GO in it then. Do I have to flush it out or can I just drain and refill with GO?
